This is an excellent addition to the PIG series. It's amazing to find out what you DIDN'T learn in school. This book dispels myths and gives you information on our founding fathers like no other. Brion McClanahan breaks it down very well. There are overall chapters concerning the Revolution, the issues and myths; then there are chapters on the "Big Six." George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and Benjamin Franklin. Then there are 14 other chapters concerning certain "forgotten founders." If you have attended school within the last 50-60 years and took American history, you should get this book. You'd be surprised to learn what you didn't learn.
